Ann Arbor Thrift Shop

The Ann Arbor Thrift Shop is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located at 3500 Washtenaw Ave in Ann Arbor, Michigan, operating continuously since 1932. Run entirely by over 300 volunteer members, the shop accepts, sorts, and sells gently used clothing, footwear, accessories, and household goods donated by the community. All proceeds from sales fund grants to local agencies that support families and individuals with housing, utilities, food, and health-related needs, having awarded over $1.5 million in grants over the last five years. The organization is deeply involved in community assistance, partnering with agencies like the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County and SOS Community Services to help individuals experiencing homelessness and families at risk of losing their housing, while also providing emergency clothing vouchers to those in immediate need.
